So......where do I begin? I was very unhappy with myself for over 5 years. I used to be the thin girl that could eat what she wanted and never had to worry about a pound. Then my mid twenties took hold of me and my genetics on Botha sides decided it was time for me to be fat. And I mean really fat for me it was bad. I'm 6'0 tall so of course I always heard "you look good, you carry it well", blah blah blah. I had enough of the sympathy compliments and the hiding myself from my wonderful boyfriend. I researched until I was all researched out and found my gem Doctor. Dr. BBL on Instagram and he changed my life and outlook on everything. Thank God I found him and he got my right on together. Ladies and gents....if this is something that you want, don't hesitate for the sake of others and being a social outcast. Do it for you, it will totally be worth it.

Thank you. I weighed 229 pretty much the max I could have weighed for the surgery. I am too heavy and have a nice butt so all that played a roll in my weight per the doctor.

Hi, I've been contemplating on switching to Dr Balgobin I was wondering where you stayed or if there was a recovery home.

I stayed at LivInn suites less than 5 minutes from the facility. Super convenient and Dr. B was always available and it made it easy to go for follow ups.

Did you bring somebody with you?

Yes my boyfriend came and you can't have the surgery without some there. I would recommend going to a recovery house if you don't have someone that would take good care of you.

Hi. I'm 6ft also and live in Chicago but I weigh 258. So is it by the person individually that he figures the weight limit or by the height?

Almost three weeks out and I feel amazing, I think I'm healing well although I have nothing to refer that to having never had surgery. Only pain I feel is going from laying to sitting to standing or sitting to standing. My back has been hurting from slightly leaning forward I'm terrified to stand up straight sometimes. I wanted to share my experiences in great detail so everyone knows what to expect. Lipo hurts A LOT, but the hydrocodone does help. *wink wink*. I didn't have the dissolvable stitches so once my skin started healing over the stitch it hurt like crazy that much more. I got them taken out one week post and that made the world of differemce how I felt. I will post three weeks post op pictures on Friday. He literally curbed a waist for me I can't wait for the swell ping to be gone and see the snatched waist that's left.

Does he use IV sedation and local anesthesia? Or when you say Lipo hurts a lot do you mean the recovery period? I'm really considering this doc for the same procedure as you, any other info not in your reviews please share :)

He used IV Sedation. And the recovery is what hurt only when the stitches were in after that it was a lot better.

The recovery is what hurts. I was under anesthesia (IV) for the actual procedure and didn't feel anything.
